The Foundation has awarded over 500 grants and $12 million dollars since 2004 to departments across ZSFG. Designed as a way to supplement patient care at San Francisco’s only public hospital since its early days, today the Equity & Innovation (formerly Hearts) Grants program has grown to foster new ideas, fund creative approaches to patient care, and place value on programs fighting inequities in health care delivery.
